Which term is described as being used before a Pull to quickly match up with the opponent directly across?

• A. Airbender
• B. Arcoss
• C. Bid
• D. Across

Answer: (B)

The main concept here is quick, pre-pull matchup communication that gets defenders into the right person-to-person coverage across the field. The term described is used to signal teammates to switch and mark the opponent directly across from them, so you instantly match up with the player on the opposite side as the pull goes up. This cross-field cue helps maintain solid man-to-man alignment and speeds up the transition after the pull, preventing slow adjustments and mismatches.

Airbender is just a nickname with no standard defensive cue attached to it. Bid refers to a diving effort or attempt to catch or block, not a matchup call. Across is a common word but not the specific call used to indicate switching to the opponent directly across; Arcoss is the designated term for that cross-field matchup instruction.
